Your AC runs quietly and efficiently again. No more hot, stuffy rooms or energy bills that make you cringe. No more wondering if today’s the day your system gives up completely.
When we repair your air conditioning, you get reliable cooling that works when you need it. We fix the actual problem, not just the symptoms, so you’re not calling for the same repair next month.
Your home stays comfortable, your energy costs stay reasonable, and you can stop worrying about your HVAC system breaking down at the worst possible time.
Hot & Cold HVAC has been solving AC problems for Clay residents who need reliable service without the runaround. We’re the local HVAC contractor people call when they want it done right the first time.
Clay’s hot summers and California’s energy efficiency requirements mean your AC system needs proper attention from technicians who understand both. We know which repairs make sense and which ones are just throwing money away.
Our licensed technicians arrive with the right tools, the right parts, and the experience to diagnose problems accurately. Because when your AC fails in Clay’s heat, amateur hour isn’t an option.
We start by actually diagnosing your AC problem using proper testing equipment. Not guessing, not throwing parts at it, but finding out exactly what’s wrong and why it happened.
Then we explain what needs fixing and give you the real cost upfront. No “diagnostic fees” that disappear into inflated repair prices, no surprise charges, no pressure to buy equipment you don’t need.
We complete the repair using quality parts and proven methods, then test everything to make sure it’s working properly. You get a system that cools your home reliably and an honest explanation of what we did and why.

Every AC repair includes thorough system evaluation – refrigerant levels, electrical connections, airflow, and overall performance. We don’t just fix the broken part and leave potential problems for later.
Clay’s climate demands a lot from air conditioning systems. We understand how local conditions affect equipment performance and make recommendations that actually work for your specific situation and budget.
You get honest advice about repair versus replacement. If your system has good years left, we’ll repair it properly. If it’s time to replace, we’ll tell you why and help you understand your options without high-pressure sales tactics.
Most AC repairs in Clay cost between $200 and $600, though simple fixes like replacing a capacitor might cost $150-250, while major repairs like compressor replacement can reach $1,200-1,800. The wide range depends on what’s actually wrong with your system.
We provide exact pricing before starting work, so you can make informed decisions. California repair costs have increased significantly – about 40% in the past five years – but we keep our pricing transparent and competitive. Complex repairs involving refrigerant leaks, electrical problems, or major component replacement naturally cost more than basic maintenance issues.
Yes, we provide same-day AC repair service in Clay for most problems. Emergency calls often get response within 2-4 hours because we understand how quickly homes heat up when air conditioning fails in California weather.
Simple repairs like capacitor replacement, thermostat issues, or electrical connection problems usually take 1-2 hours to complete. More complex repairs involving refrigerant leaks or major component replacement might require ordering parts, but we’ll give you realistic timeframes and temporary solutions when possible. We stock common repair parts on our service trucks to minimize delays.
If your AC is over 10-12 years old and needs repairs costing more than $800-1,000, replacement often makes better financial sense. Systems that need frequent repairs, struggle to cool your home, or cause high energy bills despite recent fixes are usually beyond economical repair.
We’ll assess your system’s overall condition, remaining lifespan, and energy efficiency to give you honest recommendations. Sometimes a $400 repair gives you three more good years. Other times, continuing to repair a failing system just wastes money that should go toward replacement. We help you understand the real costs either way.
We repair all major AC brands including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, American Standard, and others. Our HVAC technicians stay current with different manufacturers’ systems, diagnostic procedures, and repair techniques.
Whether you have a basic single-stage unit, high-efficiency variable-speed system, or older model that’s hard to find parts for, we have the experience and supplier relationships to handle the repair properly. We also work on mini-split systems, packaged units, and commercial HVAC equipment serving Clay area businesses.
All AC repairs come with warranty coverage on both parts and labor – typically 90 days to one year depending on the type of repair and components involved. If the same problem occurs again within the warranty period, we fix it at no additional charge.
We keep detailed service records for every job, so we can quickly identify any related issues that might develop later. Most properly completed repairs don’t fail again, but when they do, we stand behind our work. Quality repairs done right the first time are less expensive than repeatedly patching the same problem.
Yes, we provide emergency AC repair service throughout Clay, CA. When your air conditioning fails during heatwaves, weekends, or after regular business hours, we understand it can’t wait until the next business day.
Emergency service includes additional charges for after-hours calls, but we explain all costs before starting work. Our emergency technicians carry common repair parts and diagnostic equipment to handle most urgent situations immediately. We prioritize safety and comfort, especially for families with young children, elderly residents, or medical conditions affected by extreme temperatures.
